How to refurbish your old Chaise Loungers

August 6, 2012

With just a little time and some outdoor canvas they can be the envy of the backyard again... I pinky promise.

Before they are ready to show off, you will need to disassemble the chairs to remove the seat and back material. Use the old material as your pattern. Allow an inch ( or enough space) for the support brace to fit in your seam. Sew your seam pockets and assemble back on the chairs.

I told you they would be the envy of the backyard, and probably the neighborhood too!

Your lounges look prettier than they did before, love that fabric, so cheery. I'm a fan of stripes so ignore my opinion if you need to. Don't know how you figured out how to fix those up but you sure are a clever girl.

Great idea! I think my chairs may be made the same way, I hope. They aren't ripping yet, but the AZ summer sun really makes them look shabby, & not in a "shabby chic" kind of way! Beautiful fabric you chose!

Well aren't you clever? I love how those turned out. I like the striped fabric you chose better than what they came with too. You saved yourself a ton of money by redoing these and I think they look great! Wish I could sew like you. I need to learn. I'm more of a glue girl. Ha!

This is a fabulous project! The fabric you chose works so well with the frames and the whole thing is really attractive and chic!Great tutorial! I probably would have thrown the chairs away! Thanks to your instructions, I can see how easy it is to make new backs for them!

Your project would be perfect to share at TUTORIALS TIPS AND TIDBITS, my new weekly linky party! It is live every Wednesday evening at 8:00. Come on over and join in!

What perfect timing. I looked at my chairs yesterday and started to figure out how to replace the blah fabric that I begun to hate. So now I will be on the hunt for replacement fabric. Thank you, Dawna

I love this! I would've thrown them out, but you brought yours back to life, and make it look so easy! I'm pinning for sure! Would love it if you shared at the Keep Calm and Link Up party! http://chase-thestar.blogspot.com/2012/08/keep-calm-and-link-up-1.html going on right now!Barbara @ Chase the Star

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Great work on extending the life of perfectly good bones! Terrific choice of fabric! When it comes time to repair mine, I have your wonderful example--and I will be making use of it!
